| Popis: | The Class III malocclusion with mandibular prognathism can involve many factors, among which are excessive mandibular growth, underdevelopment of the maxilla, environmental factors, and trauma to the jaws. The correction of this malocclusion can involve an orthodontic or a combined orthodontic-orthognathic approach. Skeletal asymmetries can complicate this situation, making treatment either more difficult, more complicated, or both. This case presentation involves treatment with a combined orthodontic-orthognathic approach. [This case was presented to the American Board of Orthodontics in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the certification process conducted by the Board.] |
